I would go with an ati 9600. Buy one from a G5 and do a tape mod. I just happen to have one left 9600xt 128 with ram/gpu coolers that hasnt gotten to eBay yet. PM me if you are interested. You could also get a 9600 64mb on eBay for dirt cheap.-maestro

Actually, I ofund out it will work, I just have to remove a few pins.He's selling it to me for $25... I don't think you guys could beat that, or make it worth your while to beat it. If you can, hit me up with a PM.

I also just scored some other nice equipment for my next Frankintosh.this is so gonna ROCK! B)

Good deal. Dont take the pins off, just put some tape over them. Actually if its a mac card, you will need to cut part of the pins off, lol. I still think you would be happier with any version of 9600, its much faster and overclockable. The 5200 isnt even as fast as you ti nvidia card. If you are on a tight budget, go for it.

Exactly. I have to remove the pins.And believe me, if I can get the GF4ti working again, I will.Another friend is actually giving me a PCI Rage128, and I have a backup ROM file for the GF4ti. I'm going to use Graphicellerator to reflash the card. I think that will fix it. If not, the FX 5200 will get the job done.

I'm not a big gamer... I likely won't notice the difference between a Radeon 9600 and the FX 5200, especially on a 2x AGP bus. I just need something with good all-around performance for illustrating, graphic design, and general OS X stuff.
